Lovecraft Honey Ale

About this beer

From the label

“About H.P. Lovecraft H.P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, RI in 1890, the same year Narragansett Beer was founded just down the road. Though he toiled mostly in obscurity in small-press magazines, today he is universally acclaimed as the "Father of Modern Horror". Artists from Stephen King, to Neil Gaiman, Metallica and Guillermo del Toro cite him as a direct influence. Our Lovecraft Series of collaborations follows the spirit of his "Cthulhu Mythos", which invited fellow authors to write in the same shared universe of ideas. Prologue Lovecraft Honey Ale is a perfect tribute to the Dark Prince of Providence, at once both familiar and out of this world. Combining five pale malts (including honey) and kissed with a touch of hops for a mild herbal finish, this smooth Honey Ale was inspired by the Space Mead consumed by winged Byakhee, who first appeared in HPL's "The Festival". The fictional Space Mead was taken as a protection from "interstellar space travel"...but where you journey with our Honey Ale is all up to you.”
